The FCC has approved Skydance's $8 billion acquisition of Paramount, the owner of CBS, following an agreement to modify its programming practices. As part of the deal, Paramount and Skydance will discontinue DEI programs and commit to presenting a wider range of political and ideological perspectives. This commitment addresses past criticism, particularly from the Trump administration, regarding perceived anti-conservative bias at CBS. Skydance will also appoint an ombudsman for at least two years to handle complaints of bias. The agreement aims to ensure a more balanced representation of viewpoints across Paramount's platforms.
